(Verse)

The last time I saw my granddad alive

Was the day I turned 13

He gave me a 5-dollar bill

And brushed his hand across my check

He said “Son you’ve grown, but not so much

Until you’ve found someone”

Held a picture of my grandma up

Said, “Let me tell you ‘bout love”

(Chorus)

It’s a light that shines, both day and night

And helps you find your day

Puts an ending to those feet that move

And makes you want to stay

It’s the calming warm after a storm

It’s the feeling you’ve been saved

It’s the only thing worth living for

It’s the flowers on your grave

(Verse)

I thought a while after he died

Did he know I was too young

To understand just what he meant

What the hell could I know ‘bout love

But my mama cried at his graveside 

When we were visiting one day

Washed over me like an ocean tide

After I laid my rose in place 

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

Money and houses won’t remember you

They won’t cry once you are gone

The things you own can’t feel at all

They don’t pass your memory on

He said “That’s not what love is” 

(Chorus)
